Ribbon and children

Small children love ribbon. Actually, they love pretty much anything and everything whimsical. Their nimble minds are constantly tuning into new stimulation and the colors and flitting motion of a ribbon in the wind can be all-too intoxicating to a toddler. Heck, most adults would [maybe only secretly] admit how easy it is to get distracted by a fun-flying ribbon.
